and stare out at the ripples
in the lake disturbing the peace,
and the icy wind blows,

footsteps touch the highest cloud,
because of your love,
Solemn expressions are gone,
and rejoicing now begins.

a blanket,
upon a loom,
intricately woven,
by hands full of skill.
Having purpose,
and design,

portrays beauty,
of blushing colors,
With hues of strength, . . .

to spread to me,
igniting my calm spirit,
making me fight for my very existence,
and for my right to believe.

I lock myself away, fill my space with white noise
to avoid the rantings of you;
A caged bird with no escape, I hide.

You wash over me,
cleansing me,
taking my tattered edges,
and transforming them
into something beautiful.
You see beyond
my brokenness into
a heart that is pure;
You see beyond
my woundedness . . .
